The Ohio State Buckeyes produced a historically loaded 2016 NFL draft class, setting a league record with nine players selected in the first three rounds Thursday and Friday.
Chris Fallica of ESPN's College GameDay reported on the milestone. The record of nine came on the Houston Texans' pick of quarterback-turned-receiver Braxton Miller at 85th overall. Defensive tackle Adolphus Washington preceded Miller at No. 80 to the Buffalo Bills.
Patrick Brown of the Times Free Press reported Ohio State's elite crop of talent matched the USC Trojans' 2008 draft class and the Tennessee Volunteers' 2000 class with seven players chosen in Rounds 1 and 2.
